Since the fine is 50.00, one can be sure that this is about revenue generation, not saving lives.

There is already a law- Darwin

I’d think texting and getting killed would be enough of punishment or deterrence...

They are already zombies. To quote an important national figure, "What difference does it make?".

Does your city have a ban on talking on cell phones while driving? It is hard to enforce a texting while driving ban if you don’t have a ban on using a cell phone. All the driver of the car has to say is that they were getting ready to make a phone call. This is the situation where I live.

Up next, in the dark and fascist Peoples Republik of Neu Joisey, is a bill outlawing texting while eating, to be followed shortly thereafter by one outlawing texting while crapping.

I am SOOOOO glad that I escaped that Socialist Hell Hole and moved to Texas....

And for their next trick, the NJ legislature will criminalize checking out 11 grocery items or more in the 10 items or less lane.

How about walking and chewing gum at the same time?

“I feel so bad, cause I always “accidentally” bump my shopping cart into them as they stand there.”

Well, we have the antithesis of this here in CA. It's the “willful ME/Indian/ Pakistani/etc. “shopper” who thinks of all the “White people” at Costco as targets for his/her shopping cart and who tries not to make eye contact as they attempt to cut the line at the check out counter. I always make a point to loudly announce what they are trying to do so everyone around looks at them! I keep thinking how much better the world would be without these cretins.

You know, I’m not sure about that, but it would make sense

I will have to ask one of the cops I see at the diner next time

But I guess that’s logical

What I don’t get: All these liberals are pro Darwin who taught “survival of the Fittest” and evolution. Therefore, if they really believe Darwin, they should fully support stupid people texting their way in front of a bus.

I thought the root word of liberal was liberty, I must be mistaken.
